How To Jeopardise Your Friendship With Remus Lupin by amberlink
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
27 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
It’s his sixth year at Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin has no intentions of making any major changes to his daily routine. He’s a creature of habit; of schedules and lists and predictability, and of comfort…when he has the option.
James Potter, however, has all the intentions of making major changes to Remus’s daily routine. It’s out of love, Remus knows this, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.
And, as the year progresses, James isn’t the only one testing the boundaries of his friendship with Remus Lupin.

Summary
Sixteen, almost seventeen year old Lily Evans is entering her 6th year at Hogwarts unsure of her place in the wizarding world. Outside conflicts are creeping into the castle, contaminating what used to be a safe and magical place, and she fears that she may be the only one who can see the storm on the horizon. A thoroughly unexpected friendship with Sirius Black is the catalyst for upheaval in Lily's life, as she discovers who she can truly trust, and finds allies who will help her face Voldemort and his followers in the war to come.

Summary
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

Summary
The pain is overwhelming, and it’s not getting better. It’s been thrumming absentmindedly beneath his skin all day, all summer, and no matter how much time passes, it never lessens.
Sirius squeezes his eyes shut, trying to block out all the noise of the dying feast around them, trying to find the strongest surge of pain, locate its location, and tuck it away behind his own crumbling protective walls. It’s futile. James’ mischievous eyes, Remus’ amused smirk, Peter’s encapsulating hugs, they’ve worn down his defenses.
You can’t build a fortress with a hidden doorway. It’s pointless. An entrance is an entrance. A leak is a leak. And it’s all spilling out.
OR
Sirius deals with his parents’ abuse while at school, but he never realizes just how dangerous the game they're playing is.

Summary
The Fox Intelligence Agency’s latest recruit, Neil Josten, is showing great promise. The only problem’s that he can’t stand one of the agency’s best agents — Andrew Minyard. And apparently, the feeling’s mutual.
When the feud between them almost costs the team a mission, Director Wymack decides that the best course of action would be to send the two on a bonding trip.
That is, he assigns them a top-secret infiltration mission, where the only way for them to survive would be to learn to cooperate.
A spy AU.

Neil Josten's No Good Terrible Luck by irisstone16
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
09 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Neil wasn’t stupid.
Tired, yes. Bleeding, slightly. But he wasn’t stupid.
He didn’t even let Hernandez pull him aside in Millport- the minute he heard someone was waiting for him he was gone. A flimsy excuse about grabbing something from his hallway locker (which he never even opened) and he hadn’t looked back.
Neil grabbed his duffel in front of him, leaving bloody handprints that wouldn’t be seen on the black fabric, as he zipped it closed.
As if this couldn’t get any worse, a third person stuck their head in the doorway, like some horrible clown car that wanted Neil dead.
“What is the deal? We have a deadline guys.”
They made eye contact, and Neil felt his soul leave his body.
“Is that- fucking Josten?”
(Or alternatively, Neil runs in Milport and has the worst possible luck one could imagine.)

Summary
An AU where Mary never got Nathaniel out. Instead, he became too invaluable of an asset to be killed off or 'gifted' to Tetsuji. Instead, he's raised with Ichirou and Jean as a part of Ichirou's inner circle.
He'd always had a knack for languages and lying and all the 'messy stuff' came easily enough when your father is called the Butcher of Baltimore. So Nathaniel became the Wraith. He was untraceable, unknowable, infalliable; a criminal fairytale.
When Kevin Day leaves the Nest, there's no better person to send.
~
"Who the hell are you?" Andrew demanded.
He wasn't anyone, not really; not anymore. He hadn't really been anyone in years now. There'd been a time. Once. But there were entire lifetimes between who he could have been and what he'd become. He could taste it sometimes; blackberries and sand stinging his tongue like the iron branded on his shoulder.
It was easier to pretend he'd never been anyone at all.
"I'm nothing," he answered. The ghost of a smile pulled at his lips; sharp and cruel. "A wraith." The Wraith, he didn't say, but the shadows ran through Andrew's eyes and he wondered if Andrew had heard it anyways.

I mean, what else could Nicky have done when he spotted Andrew smiling at the hot guy making his coffee?
Not meddle?
Not get all the Foxes on board?
It's like you don't even know him.

Summary
Neil is nothing and everything all at once, the entire universe for Andrew, however small of a universe that is. Even Aaron is starting to see it, though the pieces still don't line up.
And Andrew is trying to convince Aaron that he's never jealous? Yeah right. You don't spend your entire life being denied, being hurt, going through foster care with nothing to call your own only to be okay with someone else trying to take the one bright piece of life you call yours.
Or, Aaron is done with Andrew's shit and makes it his job to prove his brother wrong.

Summary
"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.
"I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"
Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.
"The real one. The one that fits you best."
"Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?
Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.
"Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."- Language:

Summary
"Neil doesn't talk about his mom and doesn't think about what she'd do to him if she saw him now. He has a family, he has Exy, and he has Andrew. He has more than enough, more than he ever could have dreamed of.
Neil doesn't talk about his mom until a warm fall day outside the locker room, waiting for the start of their game with his team and family. It's a place that she doesn't belong, where not even a memory of her belongs, but she wriggles her way in and takes root in his chest."
Or
Neil reveals, piece by piece, what life with his mom was like.
